Hotel Library

A convenient location not far from the train station and close to the city centre. The concept of the library is charming. Once you stay and walk around you'll see how they were inspired for the theme of the hotel. Everything was good with the room (clean, nice toiletries for your stay, you can feel safe with luggage storage, etc.) Staff are helpful and pleasant. A quick stay for us.

Ghost room, bad attitude, no refund... Just awful

Turned up having booked shortly before to be told it was impossible I made a booking for that night. When I showed the reservation, they then realised it was POSSIBLE! Maybe, they should have asked to see the reservation first before telling me I was wrong (when I clearly wasn't). Anyway, they were sold out... So, took my money, told me I was wrong (when I wasn't), failed to apologise at all (for the lack of room or for telling me I didn't make a reservation), couldn't provide a room, and I had to request a refund. Absolutely pathetic.

Great location and accommodating staff. A bit unclear what the setup with breakfast is and this was not explained, and lots of good local places to eat. There were steep stairs inside and the lift was then out of action during my staff. (of course, a feature of many similar buildings and not the fault of the property)

First, the hotel facilities, entrance, and reception are very run-down and very small. Second, the elevator is also very small. It’s common during the summer season to have air conditioning. We didn’t see any air conditioning in the rooms, nor was it specified. There is a small fan, but there's nowhere to plug it in. Then, the rooms are very small. The reception service is terrible. The reception and entrance are quite deteriorated. Third, when trying to leave today, I had several suitcases. I was on floor minus one and tried to come up with the luggage, but it was almost impossible due to the limited space. And the elevator don't work. This is definitely a hotel I would not recommend again.

The hotel met all of our needs. This is an urban location and the room with a queen, twin beds, and bathroom was perfect. The bathroom is well constructed but needs a heavier toilet seat and also, to be professionally cleaned after every guest. The fans are great especially on a rainy, moist day. Since there is no air conditioner, it's nice that the windows open; however, security may be an issue since it seems that nearby residents can climb on their roof tops and walk over and gain entry. The lift does not come to the third floors so this hotel may not be ideal for someone with mobility issues. Our room did not smell like smoke but smoking is going on in such proximity to the hotel that it's smoky on the first level.
